Part-time, 16-20 hours per week, Monday-Friday.

Here at Northgate we believe that people flourish when they take opportunities to serve others. To help people do so, we strongly focus on their individual development. Each volunteer is unique and very important to us and as we equip and empower them, they are enabled to serve their community in ways that only they can.
